I think they will do it anyway, however this will probably take sometime, and I don't think my complain will change the duration. However, I consider this a real bug in evolution, as many may use custom servers with custom CA and one can always hit the wrong button. A good SW should always provide a way to recover an error when possible. For info: I've got the message for another mail account [1] (seems to be per account not per server) Cheers, [1] SSL Certificate for 'smtp-auth.sfr.fr' is not trusted. Do you wish to accept it? Detailed information about the certificate: Issuer: CN=GlobalSign Organization Validation CA - G2,O=GlobalSign nv-sa,C=BE Subject: CN=smtp.sfr.fr,O=SOCIETE FRANCAISE DU RADIOTELEPHONE - SFR,OU=PFS_FIXES,L=PARIS,ST=PARIS,C=FR Fingerprint: 58:4c:00:37:cc:06:be:dd:c3:9d:d8:f8:77:39:e0:0b Signature: BAD
